If you are targeting Muskies, I'd go with 30#-50# power pro. I use 30# PP on my pike/striper rods and it's not an issue. I would not go any lighter then 30#. JMO
As it turns out, I returned the Spectron, and picked up a 300yd spool of 50# PowerPro. I love the way it casts - super limp.
Hey guys. what is your reason for using that heavy line (up to 80# test)? I fish for musky alot and have yet to had one break 25 # mono boating numerous fish in the 20-30 lb range. Just curious, does the bulkier line aid in some sort of presentation or is it just added insurance. Are you eliminating the wire leader with the use of such heavy line?
